Beta Finn crossed his arms, watching Kane intently. “How long are you just going to stand there staring at her? Go tell her what’s on your mind.” 

Kane’s gaze remained fixed on Selene. He had been watching her interaction with Ruby, his sharp eyes catching the subtle twist of Ruby’s wrist. 

For once, though, he didn’t feel the urge to step in. He was intrigued–curious to see just how far Selene would go this time. A memory flickered in his mind–the last time she had done this, Ruby had walked away nursing a broken hand. 

“What the hell is Ruby doing here?” Kane finally asked, his voice low. 

Without answering immediately, Finn mind–linked Delta Derek, summoning him to the bar area. 

When Derek arrived, Finn wasted no time. “You had the guest list. Did you send an invitation to Ruby?” 

Kane’s gaze shifted to Derek, waiting for confirmation. He sure as hell hadn’t invited her. 

“No way,” Derek said firmly. “I even double–checked the list. Her name wasn’t on it.” 

“So she just showed up uninvited?” Finn questioned, his brows furrowing. 

Kane’s eyes flickered back to Ruby just in time to see his mother approaching her, a few guests in tow. The way Diana beamed as she introduced Ruby to the others made everything click into place. 

“I know who invited her,” Kane muttered. 

“Who?” Finn and Derek asked in unison. 

Kane subtly gestured in Ruby’s direction. Finn and Derek followed his gaze and immediately spotted Diana standing beside Ruby, looking far too pleased with herself. It became clear–Diana had been the one to bring Ruby to the party. Her intentions weren’t hard to figure out. She wanted Kane to reconcile with Ruby. 

A giant birthday cake was wheeled into the hall, drawing all the children’s attention. Their eyes 

widened with excitement as they eagerly gathered around it. 

Luna beamed, nudging her brother. “Look at our birthday cake, Leo! Isn’t it beautiful?” 

Leo, however, barely spared the cake a glance. His expression remained unreadable, his excitement 

nowhere to be seen. 

Selene noticed immediately. She had been trying to spend as much time with her children as possible, but something was clearly bothering Leo. Leaning down, she pressed a kiss to his head. “What’s wrong, my big boy? Why aren’t you happy?” 

She had asked him multiple times what Kane had said to him or done to him, but each time, Leo refused to answer. It dawned on her–he was just like his father. Stubborn. Arrogant. 

“Nothing, Mommy,” he muttered. 

Selene sighed but didn’t push further. Instead, she took both of their hands and guided them toward

Standing nearby, Diana smiled warmly at the twins. “Come to Grandma, my darlings. Let’s cut the cake.” Garrett stood beside her, nodding in encouragement.
